Taking a holistic, enterprise-wide approach to consumer identity maximizes the value of investments while dramatically heightening security, agility and responsiveness to the marketplace. It’s no surprise, then, that digital consumer identity is climbing up the business agenda and driving more board-level discussions.

This new strategic focus is creating opportunities to exploit the benefits of consumer identity at various levels, while overcoming traditional reliance on a siloed departmental approach that risks ongoing inefficiencies, duplication of effort, higher costs and limited agility.
